Now can we finally stop blaming the front office and coaching staffing for anything other than drafting this fool?

This is all on Titus and the punk is costing himself millions of dollars.

Spot on.

wjb - I'd give it up. You don't have to spin everything into the FO and coaching staff's fault to prove they're not great. It's quite possible they're not great and Titus is a monumental fool both at the same time.

"A Twitter" ??? You sound old

What do you call it?

Errr... Uhmmm... What do you "kids" call it?

The whippersnappers say it's just 'Twitter' no 'a', unless you want to say 'I may have to get a twitter account'..........

Now, get off my lawn!

Titus Young tweets apology to Lions fans -- then it disappears3:16 AM, April 16, 2013

Former embattled Detroit Lions receiver Titus Young tweeted an apology to Lions fans early this morning, thanking them for two years of "love and joy," before the tweet disappeared within an hour.

At 1:07 a.m., Young's Twitter account @TitusDYoungSr sent the following: "I apologize to the Detroit fans , Thank you, for the 2 years of Love and joy." One minute later, he tweeted: "Thank Jesus amen."

Both tweets, however, disappeared rather quickly. Actually, @TitusDYoungSr sat at zero tweets as of 3 a.m., with the bio: "Proud father of Titus young Jr. Family man. Looking to play defense #34 #21#29 #22 any league."

Entering the 2012 season, Young, a second-round pick in 2011, was supposed to assert himself as a top complimentary wide receiver to Calvin Johnson in the Lions' pass-heavy offense.

Instead, Young amassed just 383 yards and four touchdowns in 10 games before being suspended and eventually cut from the team for insubordinate behavior. That included punching a teammate, being late for meetings and lining up in the wrong spot on purpose in a November loss to the Green Bay Packers.

In late January, Young took to Twitter to lash out at the Lions, saying, among other things, "if y'all going to cut me let me go. I'm tired of the threats." The Lions released him Feb. 4, shortly after the Super Bowl.

Young was picked up on waivers by the St. Louis Rams but released again 10 days later. He is still a free agent.

Basic psychology RJ...

Being humble isn't in Young's nature. As "right" as it is, it embarrasses him. IMO this shows that deep down he knows he was wrong, but he has a self-destructive persona that doesn't let him "act right."

I'm hoping Young gets his sht together. I really think he could do well on a team like the Patroits, Broncos or even the Colts. I think he would "fit" in a team like Chicago, but they would enable his ridiculousness.
